Q downgrade qhd to 1080p? - LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i was curious if there was a way to do this to our phones? Just like how the sony z5 premium runs 1080p regularly and 4k when it needs it. movies as of now only run to 1080p and youtube/photos/home movies would be the only real app to utilize QHD. it would be nice to use 1080p or even 720 if you wanted to lower battery. Just an idea.

you use adb shell.the command is "adb shell wm size 1920x1080"if that looks weird switch the 1920 and 1080.but upon reboot youll get a system ui crash
---------- Post added at 04:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:15 PM ----------
just be warned .you will be stuck in a infinite system ui loop so dont do this unless you have twrp or equvilent

so if i get stuck in an infinite loop ill just restore my rom? this will have my phone working at 1080p at all times?

My nexus 10 doesn't seem to like full blu ray rips, like the 30mbps+ ones. It loads the first couple of seconds and then freezes. Any ideas?

THANK YOU!! For the very first time, I see *smooth* video playback of a Blu-ray rip on the Nexus 10!
How much more battery does this cost?
I hope, Google or the video player developers can fix this more generally.

Hmmm, after I tried 1300/1700, it does not work anymore, even with 1500/1700.
According to CPU spy, BS runs at 1700 all the time, but still I have those micro lags again.
Quit and restart of BS does not help...

Smooth again after reboot of the tablet... With 1300/1700. Strange.

great that it worked!...for a while
the difference is huge i agree
300mhz more CPU power doesnt seems that much but it is and you can see it.
i think setting it to the performance governor also made some difference.
also you dont want the CPU clock to be all over the place as it was before (from 200-1000mhz)
there seems to be some problem with SuperSu when its ask for permissions all the time.
when that happends and you are in a movie you will get the lag back even if SetCPU has permision.
you need to change some settings in SuperSu.
i have not tried it yet but it should work
i will update the first post later..

no need to use 1700mhz
that will kill your battery and also higher the risk of thermal throttling for the CPU.
(the CPU clocks down when it gets to hot)
set it to 1300mhz max and 1200mhz min instead.

i am using Nexus Media Importer what are you using?
FYI, the Samsung manual on the Exynos 5 processor in our tablet gives a full list of its hardware decoding capabilities for video. According to the manual it only supports 4.2 profiles and not the much more common 4.1 profiles. It also does not support .mkv files, but not sure if that matters since MKV is just a container and not the codec. But this could be why it isnt using full GPU hardware decoding capabilities of many movies and instead uses so much CPU power:
1080p 60fps (capable of decoding and encoding MPEG-4/H.263/H.264
and decoding only MPEG-2/VC1/VP8)

I tried this trick on Plex too to see if I could minimize the buffering that I've been plagued with. It seemed to help a good amount. There was still some pausing but it happened less often and was of MUCH MUCH MUCH shorter duration (like half a second to one second) and much less intrusive to the watching experience.
Thanks for the tip!

great that it speeds up buffering...didnt know that!
whats is Plex ?
Home media server kind of thing. Run a plex server on a desktop, run the plex app on your tablet and watch your movies, etc. I think part of our buffering problem is a recent change in the setup of the hard drives storing our media files, which we are going to try fixing, but still, set CPU seemed to make things better.

If you read the H.264 wiki, it seems that Levels correspond to supported resolution and frame rate maximums. So all 4.1 encodings should be supported on a 4.2. The BP / MP / HP mean Baseline Profile / Main Profile / High Profile. All different types of encodings.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H.264/MPEG-4_AVC#Levels
MKV is a wrapper. It may never be supported on the built in video player, but all 3rd party (MX Player/BS Player etc) can easily demux the core video data for hardware decoding.

Had it on userspace gov. Trying performance now. Also, wouldn't it seem more logical (to eliminate switching altogether), to set it to 1300/1300?
---------- Post added at 06:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:39 PM ----------
I would not change global SuperSU settings to "grant" instead of "ask".
I configured "grant" and "no notification" for SetCPU and for the ProfilesService instead.
BTW, 1300/1300 also works good for the TimeScape video.
I am really glad someone else finally saw the not-smoothness in video playback. Or maybe some N10 can play smooth without this trick...
Will you inform the BSplayer developers about this? Maybe they can now do something, so that SetCPU is not necessary?
Seems like it may be helping YouTube buffering as well. Need to do some more testing with that.

i was thinking its maybe better to have some space when the CPU works.
just try it and see if its the same

lol i think they read this
once you have set your profile you dont need to bother with it..so no problem here if its not fixed in BSplayer.
maybe they can fix it but then you probably need root anyway.
i think all N10s perform the same so its no chance you can get this smooth playback with the default setting.
as i said..300mhz is alot for adding performance to an app

i dont know what CPU speed youtube is using but it can be checked with CPUSpy
its easy to make one more profile just for youtube if you need it.

[q]Dice Player & DTS plugin

Hi all I have diceplayer with external plugins allowed for dts on my nexus7, but that same plugin does not work on my Galaxy Tab 10.1
Does anyone have an external plugin that allows dts playback on their Galaxy Tab 10.1 or point me in the direction of it?
Thanks!

How did you get Dice player to play DTS on Nexus 7? What plugin did you use and folder did you put it in?

I had the same plugin, its somewhere in the N7 thread. You place it on the root of sdcard and enable the option for custom plugins in Dice settings. It doesn't work for GTab, every time I tried to play a DTS video using Dice, it would just disappear on me... no FC just disappear.
Did you ever find a player that can play dts on the galaxy tab?

Got a 720p w/ DTS transffered to my GTab, I tested using VLC for Android Beta

It says for neon and specific hardware for HW accesleration, but it seems to run fine with occasional stutter... but I expect stutter from 720p videos since our processor does not really have mkv support.

Dang, after watching the video longer, its gets out of sync. The problem is that it does not have tegra2 support in the link I posted. They do have a tegra2 version, but it has not been updated since Oct and it doesn't run that great. If your able to, you might be able to build your own tegra2 from their source and get the latest updates to try.

[Q] Qt Nexus 5 front/rear facing camera

Hello i use the Ubuntu Touch in connection with my Nexus 5.
I want to use the pictures from the front and rear facing camera but where do i find them?
On my Host-PC I use OpenCV with the command
Videocapture cap(X);
from a USB-camera. The device is in /dev/videoX but where do I find the front and rear facing camera in Ubuntu Touch from the Nexus 5?
Thanks
On the Nexus 4, the cameras can be found as /dev/videoX as well.

If you are talking about programming a QML app which uses the camera, have a look the the Camera type in the QtMultimedia package.
Furthermore, you're going to have to add the proper security policy to your apparmor file in order to be able to access the camera.

playground for gcam

New playground app for Android pie devices
You need a gcam port and AR core installed from Google play

Have fun
Please help,
This app lags too much, I get it it's 430 mb app running at a time but can something be done to fix this lag? The video recording also records lags, the camera and sticker keeps lagging in playground app.
---------- Post added at 01:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:50 PM ----------
My phone is a non rooted Moto X4
the earlier sticker pack with the star wars characters lagged on the x4 as well. Perhaps its a question of the CPU not being 100% up to the task?
The previous AR stickers app which was around 120mb didn't lag at all. This new playground app lags so much that it's unbearable.

Which is probably why it isn't natively supported until you side load it

Yeah that's true but if ur looking for more stickers then this one is better
It appears that, in theory, you can just install the base and packs as desired.
To my knowledge, the Moto X4 officially supports the ARCore.

How to record from Android screen

I just purchased a new Android phone running Pie.
I want to have a way to record my screen e.g. to a MicroSD card, so that I can later copy the video file of that recording to my PC.
Does Android have a built-in mechanism for screen recording?
Thanks.
